Geneva, 4 March 2024: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), the fastest growing and one of the most sustainable European airlines, today announces passenger and CO₂ emission statistics for February 2024.

In February 2024, Wizz Air carried 4,385,695 passengers, representing a 15.8% increase year-on-year, at a load factor of 90.0%. The February load factor continued to be impacted by reallocated Israel capacity and more flown capacity than anticipated, as some of the aircraft groundings related to the mandatory GTF engine inspections occurred later than expected.

The airline continued to grow its network and improve its customer offering in February. During the month:

·      Wizz Air announced the opening of its second training center in Rome scheduled for May of 2024. The training center will house three full-flight simulators with capacity to train over 4800 Wizz Air pilots yearly.

·      Wizz Air strengthened its leading position in Hungary by adding two Airbus A321neos to its Budapest based fleet and has announced official partnership with the Hungarian Olympic Committee.  

·      Wizz Air improved its score in CDP's 2023 (Carbon Disclosure Project) global environmental impact ranking. An overall "B" score in the CDP ranking indicates that Wizz Air is taking coordinated action on climate issues.

·      Wizz Air has been awarded 'Strategic Investment of The Year - Europe' at the 2023 SAF Investor Awards, recognizing Wizz Air's equity investment in Firefly Green Fuels, a UK-based biofuel company dedicated to SAF production from sewage sludge.

·      Wizz Air continues to consistently report the lowest CO₂ emissions per passenger/km among competitor airlines, with 52.0 grams per passenger/km for the rolling 12 months to 29 February 2024. For the month of February, CO₂ emissions were 51.4 grams per passenger/km (5.1% higher than the same month last year).
